Book Description

September 1, 1998
Heading south? Is it the pleasure? The power? The giving? The taking? Finally you can plumb the depths of oral maneuvers in good company. This conveniently portable, stimulating volume fits easily in glove box, brief case, or evening clutch and is the perfect companion to or substitute for those private, climactic moments. Fiction, essay, poetry; here is an adventuresome literary collection to take you to provocative new heights. Sexy to shocking, dark musings to hilarious tales, Going Down is guaranteed to satisfy. Today, it's practically required reading in both the public and private sectors. Scores of notorious sexperts, including John Updike, Ana•s Nin, and Oscar Wilde, have given readers their views on oral encounters, as have Frank Zappa, Erica Jong, Harold Brodkey, Cynthia Heimel, and a host of other fresh and frank contemporary voices. Now we get the best writing, the hot low-down, all in one place. And why not? It's the topic on everyone's lips.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Good How to, not very erotic, January 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Going Down: Great Writing on Oral Sex (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a good how to, this is not it. If you are looking for erotic material, I'm sure there are other works out there. I bought this book expecting tips and methods. But there are only a few sections on how-to. Be sure to check this one out at a bookstore before buying. It may not be what you want.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but lacking..., May 9, 2005
By 
This review is from: Going Down: Great Writing on Oral Sex (Hardcover)
going down is a good look at oral sex from a variety of literary authors/artists. everyone from anais nin, norman mailer, frank zappa to oscar wilde. the excerpt from "portnoy's complaint" by philip roth is hilarious. only problem is some of the stories seem incomplete. the frank zappa and frank harris stories are only a couple of pages long and left me disappointed, wanting more. overall, a good book to have. there's lots of used copies to purchase.

By A Customer
This review is from: Going Down: Great Writing on Oral Sex (Hardcover)
This book really helped me to open up to my partner. It gives you an oopen eyed view to oral sex and I think everyone should read it. Antonio and I are happier than ever :)
